today is my day being featured on the gecko galz challenge blog so i have several 3 easter cards to inspire you to join our monthly challenge. the challenge this month is "shabby chic easter." see the instructions below to learn how to play along -- and to get a freebie as well.
supplies: gecko galz "easter joy" collage sheet (brand new this month); gecko galz "my little chickadee" collage sheet; background paper by my artistic adventures; rick rack; butterfly by anna griffin.
instructions: i covered my card stock with the heart paper from my artistic adventures then added the rick rack. after cutting out images from the "easter joy" and "my little chickadee" collage sheets i glued those to the card and added the butterfly last.
supplies: gecko galz "floral symphony" paper pack; gecko galz "easter joy" collage sheet; bunny ribbon from my stash; butterfly by anna griffin.
instructions: after adhering the "floral symphony" paper on the card stock i added the image from the "easter joy" collage sheet. i completed the piece with the ribbon and butterfly.
supplies: gecko galz "easter joy" collage sheet; gecko galz "card toppers" collage sheet; background paper by my artistic adventures; butterfly by anna griffin; ornate border from my stash.
instructions: i followed the same procedure here, cutting our my chosen pieces and gluing them to the cardstock. i think this card is my favorite.

love to all.
this blog is to chart my creative evolution with stamping, paper-crafting, mixed media and some other stuff i haven't figured out yet... on the theory that challenging myself to try new things and post them to the "world" will be good for me. and might also be good for others. my blog title is inspired by julia cameron's "the artist's way" and her admonition to fill the well.
